255-100 Novalynx Analog Output Evaporation Gauge

5. Programming

Depending on the model of datalogger, make the measurement using the
Excite-Delay SE (P4) Edlog instruction, ExDelSE CR200 Series instruction, or
the BrHalf CRBasic instruction. An example from each language follows.
Multiplier and offset will depend on the calibration of the gauge. These
examples are for those who wish write their own program. The Short Cut
program generator can be used to create a program by choosing a Generic
Measurements>Half Bridge as the sensor.
